The Institute on Theology and Disability, hosted this year at Boston College and online in hybrid formats, invites submissions in the intersections of theology and disability. Open to academic papers in the intersection of theology, religion, interpretation, religious history, practical theology, HB/OT and NT, ethics, and disability/disability studies in any form (including mental health).
Submissions are also welcome in the form of practical ministry workshops, which may include collaborative practices and group work (unlike traditional paper proposals).

The Future of Theology

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new eJournal dedicated to exploring ‘live’ issues in theology. This platform aims to foster intellectual discourse and provide a space for theologians of various stripes in Ireland to share their insights and perspectives on the evolving landscape of theological studies. Theology has always been a dynamic field, constantly adapting to the challenges and questions posed by society and culture.

Anglo-Israelism and the British Imperial Imagination

Submission deadline: 20 December 2023

Anglo-Israelism is a religious movement that identifies the Anglo-Saxon peoples of Britain and northern Europe as the ethnic descendants of biblical Israel. It emerged in the eighteenth century and reached its peak in the early twentieth century, gaining favour among the upper echelons of society. Although the presence of official Anglo-Israelist organisations began to decline in England in the 1970s, Anglo-Israelist themes have been and continue to be influential in England and abroad. Despite this significance, Anglo-Israelism is not well understood by scholars or the public.

Obscurity and Exegesis
Towards an Unwritten Chapter of the History of the Bible

Programme

The Righteous Gemstones is a dark comedy about a world-famous megachurch pastor; his three children, who assist with the ministry; and various associates, extended family members, and antagonists.  Each season (2019, 2022, 2023) is self-contained and intricately structured, inviting scene by scene and even frame by frame analysis. Typically the family faces two interconnected outside threats; parallel father-son crises featuring patriarch Eli, his eldest son, and his grandchildren; parallel relationship crises involving the other children and their partners; and a disruptive force.
